My New Cooper S Cabrio... oppinions on Wheels please?!?

Hi.

I've just ordered myself a MCSC. Its got all the spec on that I missed out on when I ordered my Cooper. and I cant Wait!!!

I've gone for Chili Red with black roof, Full Aero Kit, Black Vipers, 4 spotlights and 17 inch S-spokes.

However, I want to do somthing with the wheels. I'm not into subtle. I was thinking of having then painted either all black, anthricite, or black but with a chili red rim about 6mm thick to seperate the wheel from the trye.

Any ideas on thoes options or suggestions for other combo's other than silver of white

Many thanks.

Elliot.

Sorry to polute the site with this car, but the rims do look interesting if you're wanting something different.
